SriSoukya Ayurvedic Centre - Ayurvedic Bliss

SriSoukya Ayurvedic Centre is a state-of-the-art holistic treatment facility located in Mahooz. Following a rejuvenating treatment at the centre, Farah Baig shares her thoughts on its offerings and how it contributes to Bahrain’s wellness industry.

Ayurveda is a world-renowned ancient medicine discipline which is firmly rooted in India. With SriSoukya Ayurvedic Centre, the people of Bahrain can now undergo these 5,000-year-old principles at the hands of specialised practitioners. The centre is a National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA) approved and licensed massage treatment facility with four alternate medicine practitioners and 10 masseurs. So, you are literally and figuratively in safe hands. 

As my colleagues and I walked into SriSoukya, we were warmly welcomed by the staff who briefed us on our treatments. Before making our way to the treatment rooms, we had a consultation with the doctor. The alternate medicine practitioners at SriSoukya are highly experienced and treat and manage myriad medical ailments that range from arthritis, sciatica, digestion issues, autoimmune disorders, postpartum treatments etc. Ayurveda treatments treat the root cause of the medical issue and not simply the symptoms. 

With stress and other factors at play, hair fall has been a concern of mine in recent years. Hence, I opted for a relaxing head and scalp treatment. With room’s lights dimmed and soothing music playing in the background, I was ready to relax. 

After making me comfortable, the practitioner studied my scalp before warming up a fragrant concoction of oils. Carefully sectioning off my hair, it was applied thoroughly following which she gave me a soothing head massage. It took everything in me to not fall asleep during this relaxing experience. This was then left on my hair while she mixed herbs together to create a thick paste. The sensation of this cool paste being applied to my scalp and the lengths of my hair was phenomenal. Moringa, curry leaves, neem among other nutrient-dense ingredients are generally incorporated into the treatments. 

Later, I was shown to the bathroom where I was to wash my hair before rinsing it with two variations of herbal water. It was then that I observed the instant effects of the treatment – my scalp was squeaky clean. Once finished, she combed and dried my hair before fumigating my hair with incense. She explained that this too was an essential part of the treatment, as it had therapeutic effects, but I was not one to complain as it smelled divine and remained in my hair until the next wash. 

Meanwhile, my colleagues enjoyed a heavenly, 60-minute full body massage – the perfect way to relieve stress and soothe aching muscles. With knots expertly kneaded away by the skilled masseurs, every muscle was relaxed. The ambience was serene and calming, too, creating the perfect atmosphere for unwinding. Here’s what one of them had to say: “It was an hour of escape and rejuvenation. I left feeling refreshed and renewed, as if I had taken a mini-vacation. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking ultimate relaxation.”

After our blissful treatments, we explores the attached Ayurvedic medicine pharmacy where natural health supplements, over the counter ayurvedic skin, hair and body care products are available. 

SriSoukya encourages all to experience and make preventative medicine and healing a way of life. We know for sure that we left feeling like we had taken care of our body, mind and spirit, and will soon be returning.
